The service is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at Wake Forest University's Wait Chapel. WXII will have special coverage starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, and everything will be streamed live on WXII12.com.

White House officials said Obama will speak at the memorial, while Wake Forest officials said Bill Clinton will attend the service. It's not yet known if Hillary Clinton will attend.

Oprah Winfrey previously confirmed she will attend the service, which is open only to friends and family due to limited seating capacity. The entire campus will be closed to the public during the service.

Angelou died at her Winston-Salem home on the morning of May 28. A Wake Forest professor since 1982, Angelou was 86 years old.

Saturday's private service will be the only official event commemorating Angelou at Wake Forest. More events celebrating her life are planned across the country, according to a statement from Wake Forest.
